Facebook friend contacted me through messenger to offer $150K free grant money. Said he got it. Told me to contact Gina McCarthy through messenger. Her page has no info, just a picture and states she is logged in using a number from the United States. I didn’t message her so I don’t know if she would have asked for money. I’m blocking both.

I have been getting calls offering me a government grant. They keep calling and calling. It started out like a form online for a gift card for Walmart, then it asked for my social security number, I exited out, and then 15 minutes later my phone started ringing and it hasn’t stopped since. The callers have Indian accents. I asked to be put on the Do Not Call list, then I told them to send me a packet and I would review it, and the guy went crazy cussing me. The numbers are: 9542834541, 8888517472, 8552556531, 9549542254, 2092779885, 2092760185,
